The product works wonders, my only gripe is it creates in-grown hairs. It does hurt the first few times, but gradually you get used to it, and then its only a tingly sensation. from Amazon.com I like this product a lot! it definately plucks your hairs out but it doesnt take a while. yuo have to keep on goign in circles until all the hairs are finally out. from Amazon.com This product is just ok. It does not work nearly as well as the Remington (best I have used) or Epilady (circa 1989!) that I have purchased in the past. Doesn't grab hair very well so I have to make many more passes before it gets them. I thought that the two heads that allow bi-directional passes would be worth the extra cost but it wasn't. from Amazon.com I'm a 36 year old woman with average skin sensitivity. My only previous hair-removal experience is with shaving. And my husband would be fine if I let all my hair grow in, so I don't do any hair removal for him. from Amazon.com After suffering through a Braun after my old epilator died, I saw a review for this one rating it very high in preventing ingrown hairs. I was able to get one for close-out price on HSN as too many customers were disappointed in epilating in general. from Amazon.com I've used epilators for hair removal for a long time. It's much less irritating than shaving with a blade or using depilatories. from Amazon.com Not only did this product give me razor bumps on my chin area (I'm a girl by the way), it also had problems removing stubborn hairs. The actual hair removal process wasn't that painful but I was not pleased with the results. from Amazon.com I purchased this model based on a Consumer Reports review and overall I would say this is a pretty good epilator. Things have come a long way since I first bought one 8 years ago. It removes hair better and is less painful than the other unit I previously had (Epilady). It is still time consuming to remove hair completely, but worth it to me. from Amazon.com When my old emjoi from 1982 finally stopped working I thought I would never find a replacement. I went on line and decided it was time to try a new model. from Amazon.com I think it was a little more painful than waxing, but it did a good job. I like the fact that the heads rotate in opposite directions and keep the skin tight. I have been hair free in my pits for 2 weeks now and it has been really nice. Not looking forward to doing it again, but I know it gets better over time. from Amazon.com
